It looks pretty much as you would expect a manual can opener to look. It’s a stainless steel construction – very easy grip on the handles. It latches onto the can at the top rather than to the side. The knob is easy to turn & can be used by lefties or righties.
Now, here's the surprise! When you lift the lid away, lid does not lift from the inside edge. It lifts from the outside edge. The cut is clean and blunt on both the lid and the can. No cut fingers! Also there isn’t a chance for the lid to fall back into the can. The packaging for this product is cute – it comes in a can with a pop-top lid. Yes! you can open the package without a can opener.
